Question

What is the point-slope equation of the line with slope -1/3 that goes through the point (4, -5)?

Answer 1

y-y1=m(x-x1)

That is the Point Slope Formula^

Answer 2

Do you know what the slope is?

Answer 3

nope

Answer 4

Nvm, its in there.
Okay. So what you are going to do basically is put all the numbers in and simplify.

Answer 5

y1- Y coordinate
x1- X coordinate
m- Slope

Answer 6

In this case

y1=-5
x1=4
m= -1/3

Answer 7

Do you Agree?

Answer 8

@ChinaGurl you there..?

Answer 9

yes! so its A!

Answer 10

Uh. Whats A?

Answer 11

y - 5 + -1/3 (x + 4)

Answer 12

Answer 13

Actually...no.
You kind of messed up there.
Lets backtrack.
Soo..you put the numbers in..
y - (- 5) = -1/3 (x + 4)
Then simplify. So it would be..
y+5= -1/3 (x +4)

Answer 14

thanks so much

Answer 15

the weird part is your answer is not part of the answer choices!
